“The latest DVRs from JVC have several
sophisticated features designed for today’s increased security
needs,” said Steve Martin, assistant vice president Video
Imaging Systems Division of JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS. “Whether
your security network requires 16-channel or 9-channel units, JVC
gives its customers versatility and flexibility in their choice of
high-quality digital recorders.”

Enhanced security features in the VR-616U include a
built-in motion detection system to trigger an alarm and recording
based on pre-set motion-related criteria. Users can also employ the
unit’s email notification functionality that will
automatically notify a single person or group of people whenever a
particular alarm goes off. The VR-616U contains the
industry-standard pre- and post-alarm recording functions that allow
viewers to review the 10 to 30 seconds prior to or after an alarm
event.

The JVC VR-616U uses wavelet compression, a more
efficient compression protocol that also minimizes loss of video
quality while requiring only ¼ of the space of JPEG. As a
result, high-resolution (720x240) digital recording and playback is
possible with less noticeable block noise.JVC bundles the
appropriate wavelet software as well as PC viewing software with the
VR-616U to enable monitoring and operation of both the cameras and
the digital video recorder. Coupled with remote control capabilities
for JVC pan/tilt/zoom dome cameras, such as the TK-C675BU, the
VR-616U offers power and ease of use not typically found in
comparable DVRs.

Security administrators can take advantage of the
VR-616U’s covert-channel function for monitoring highly
sensitive applications, including their own personnel. Only the
system administrator is aware of and authorized to view, record or
playback video from cameras on the covert channel. In addition, a
spot monitor output is also provided to output surveillance images
from a selected camera.

Image sequence function and multiple search modes make
it convenient for users to find view by individual frame, jog or
shuttle to find the video. In addition, the full-function DVR also
features a 240 GB hard disk drive, digital audio recording and
playback capabilities, digital zoom functionality, IEEE 1394
connection for export of images and infrared (IR) remote control.

The VR-616U and VR-609U are currently available. More
